KMXE (AM)
Encyclopedia : K : KM : KMX : KMXE (AM)
KMXE is a Spanish-language talk radio station owned by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball team. The city of license is Orange, California and the frequency is 830 AM.
The station assumed its current format in 2004 after years of broadcasting in English. Before KMXE, the station was KPLS, a conservative talk station which featured Laura Ingraham and Michael Savage. KPLS had close ties to the Orange County community and was the flagship station of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim hockey team.
Before it was a talk station, KPLS was "Beat Radio," which carried electronic dance music (aka techno) 24 hours a day. Before that, it was "Radio AAHS" and was part of the first nationwide network of radio programs for children. The downfall of Radio AAHS came when the Walt Disney Company established a competitor, Radio Disney.
In 2006, the Angels purchased the station and KMXE became the Spanish-language station for the team. There is speculation that KMXE will eventually flip back to English and replace KSPN as the flagship for the team as early as 2008; this was first reported in the Los Angeles Times in early 2006.
KMXE's slogan is, "¡Asi Se Habla!"
